Step 1: 0 + 957 = 957
Step 2: 957 + 957 = 1914
Step 3: 1914 + 957 = 2871
Step 4: 2871 + 957 = 3828
Step 5: 3828 + 957 = 4785
Step 6: 4785 + 957 = 5742
Step 7: 5742 + 957 = 6699
Step 8: 6699 + 957 = 7656
Step 9: 7656 + 957 = 8613
Step 10: 8613 + 957 = 9570
Step 11: 9570 + 957 = 10527
Step 12: 10527 + 957 = 11484
Step 13: 11484 + 957 = 12441
Step 14: 12441 + 957 = 13398
Step 15: 13398 + 957 = 14355
Step 16: 14355 + 957 = 15312
Step 17: 15312 + 957 = 16269
Step 18: 16269 + 957 = 17226
Step 19: 17226 + 957 = 18183
Step 20: 18183 + 957 = 19140
Step 21: 19140 + 957 = 20097
Step 22: 20097 + 957 = 21054
Step 23: 21054 + 957 = 22011
Step 24: 22011 + 957 = 22968
Step 25: 22968 + 957 = 23925
Step 26: 23925 + 957 = 24882
Step 27: 24882 + 957 = 25839
Step 28: 25839 + 957 = 26796
Step 29: 26796 + 957 = 27753
Step 30: 27753 + 957 = 28710
Step 31: 28710 + 957 = 29667

So, 957*31 = 29667
